"I am really excited to share i could see the real tiger at Ranthambore, just at a distance of 12 feet. It was an experience of the lifetime for me. I and my wife travelled to the place in a group of 16 people. It was an amazing experience to travel in a group"

"I have just returned from MY TRIP TIGER SAFARI that was 8 nights 9 day trip. I had a fantastic time travelling to Ranthambore. The trip started from Delhi and all the way from Delhi to Jaipur then to Ranthambore & finally Agra. The best part of the trip was I got to see tigers and Taj Mahal in one trip to India. . From start to finish the service from Max Holidays has been very promising and the moment I arrived i met other fellow companion’s as well. The Max Holidays assistance personal was waiting for all of us and greeted us well. Accommodation and vehicles at every location was good.

The staff at the Shergarh at Ranthambore was especially friendly and the ambience of the resort was lovely. Everything was well organised and we had nothing to worry about, it was ease travelling in a group. Special thanks to the driver and tour guide who was extremely patient, friendly and knowledgeable and went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable.

We look forward to book with you again.

"We had a great trip for Tiger Safari we were 16 people between age group of 18-60 years, everyone highly interested for jungle safari to see tigers. I loved the tour program as it had all i wanted to see. The Old Delhi experience was great we also got to travel in local Delhi Metro, in Agra Taj Mahal was outstanding the guide was knowledgeable and was easy to understand, last but not least the most important part of the trip was to Ranthambore. Guide arranged everything well before leaving for the safari. We did safari two time morning and evening both. We were able to see Tigress and cubs at zone 6 in the morning time. A great thanx to the team of Max Holiday for making our trip memorable."

"Last year we went on group to Tiger Safari first we tried the dates for October month but no seats were available. So, we booked for the November month me and my wife as she had great interest for tigers. On arrival at the Delhi Airport we met other people which were part of our group. Our guide Mr. Singh kept a check with the jungle people and getting information when we can exactly see the tiger. Somebody told him we can see tigers in the morning and if you are lucky enough then only you will be able to see them. Luckily we were able to see the tigers hiding in the bush in the morning. Our entire trip was good enough the hotels were neat and clean, vehicle was comfortable, most importantly our guide kept all the group members very safe. I loved the traditional food in Jaipur."

"It was an amazing trip to Ranthambore we all get into the canter to get into the jungle for Safari. The jungle was surrounded by hills from all sides it was beautiful. We did two safaris in the morning i saw tiger chasing a deer and during the evening safari elephants coming on the track. All in all it was great trip with great food & services. Special thanks to Max Holidays for organising such kind of budget small group tours with excellent service. I clicked a lot of photos and made great memories. We would book our trip with you only and suggest to our friends."

"Jungle Safari in Ranthambore is brilliant but there are no guarantees that you will be able to witness tiger, but you can see many other animals, different kinds of birds, etc. In the morning safari at zone 6 i saw tiger but few of my group members missed watching them. So, it was luck to see them. The place is very peaceful and calm with beautiful scenery. May be next year i will travel again."

As per the team is considered of Max holidays they coordinated very well with the guide and all the hotels and meals were arranged nicely. I truly want to congratulate you guys have a great team!!"

"I am writing here just to express my feelings about how much i enjoyed in India on a Tiger Group tour. I liked the Cantor very much; it was open from the top which made different experience to travel in the jungle. Our stay was very comfortable the only thing we need to get up very early to watch the tiger, but that was also worth it as we got to see the tiger. Yeeeaaah!! The moment became a memorable one we took many pictures. All credit goes to Max Holidays for their effort."

"Two very different experiences on safaris: - a first in the morning, beautiful, in the middle of a beautiful "jungle" and many animals. Do not miss even if we do not have the chance to see a tiger. Here was a local English speaking guide - a 2nd safari in the afternoon by canter, completely different. Almost no animals but on the other hand we were treated to much more arid fantastic landscapes. Climbing above the reserve, we believed ourselves in the Grand Canyon in America. "

"The park is big and you cross the safari through the park in big canter with a guide hoping to see a tiger. We managed to see some footsteps of tiger but what I understand is the chance to see a tiger. We heard many has gone and did not see any tiger. However, you can see very beautiful and unspoilt nature as well as a lot of other animals and birds under safari."

"Safaris are like a trip on a chaotic track and it is sometimes quite crowded so quite different from African parks. In two safaris (zone 2 and 4) we saw two tigers very closely and saw a third from a bit far away. We also met people who waited for their third outing to see a tiger. So we were lucky but we are not the only ones. The landscapes of the park are beautiful and very different depending on the area. The park also contains other species especially antelopes and gazelles and peacocks but the drivers and guides do not spend much time on these animals the objective being the tigers .... Conclusion: the sight of a tiger is not guaranteed, but if you're lucky it's superb."
